Posting here for traffic. I have asked before re housing for my 71 year old sister in law. I keep going around in circles. So basically she has to find somewhere new to live. I have found her a couple of little 'retirement flats' to look at tomorrow. My worry is that although she has a little bit of savings and her pension, she would not be able to afford either of these flats without support.
If she takes the flat will she be able to claim housing benefit etc straight away? She's been staying with family for the last 15 years and not officially paying rent so has no rights as such under her local authority.
Can anyone help?
Thank you so much.
